Legacy apps and systems power critical business operations but keeping them functional and reliable is becoming harder. Outdated interfaces, rigid architectures, and mounting performance demands make testing especially challenging. And while “digital transformation” is a popular buzzword, a complete overhaul isn’t always practical—or necessary.

The real solution? Better testing strategies and automation tools that work with your existing systems, not against them. With the right approach, QA teams can enhance test coverage, reduce risk, and keep legacy apps running smoothly—without the disruption of a major rebuild.

What you’ll learn:

Challenges of modern testing – What makes legacy apps difficult to test and how to address them
Real-world strategies & demo – How you can leverage automation tooling to improve legacy app reliability
Q&A – Bring your toughest testing questions
